The only way to make newspaper
notices of lectures and other entertain
ments of any value either to the pub
lie or the management, is to tell the
truth. That the HERALD tries to do;
and whenever we say, as we do of Mr..
Horr's lecture, that it is first class, we
know whereof we speak. Hyde's Hall
should be packed. People should come
in from the country and from other
towns IN the county. We may not
have another opportunity to hear him.
We consider him the best popular lee.

Lancaster trout. fishers have turned
their attention to hunting this fall.
Almost every sport has a good breech-
| loader and some of them own fancy
dogs. A fancy dog is to hunt what
| 10 n ,,raftx, bou,a Or
chaplain to haDging-it looks well.
Unless man has experienced it, he
can never for moment imagine the
inexpressible ardor that boiIs through
mans system while hunting pleas
ants with fancy dog. More especially
| it boils at such time rs the hunter, hav-
ing crawled for half mile through
brush and bramble, is almost within
reach of his bird, when at that supreme
moment the dog appears on the scene
at full ''gallop'' with drove of hogs
in hot pursuit. The fancy dog usually
makes point of freeing game about
dark, when the hunter has got out OF
the woods and is anxious to start for
home Then it is that his familiar
bark is heard indistinctly through the
lengthening shadows and weary
walk of one mile along the back trail
is necessary to bring him away from
squirrel that is freed nowhere except
in his mind. The fancy dog has many
other peculiar traits of character, which
we cannot now discuss, as we started
out to say that our hunters are just now
having fine sport shooting ducks. They
are quite plentiful on Grant river and
among the ponds on Boice Prairie.
Fred Orion brought in fine sack of
Mallards the first of the week, and
many others have been equally lucky.
